Match Preview: Arsenal vs Norwich

No doubt Arsenal will be feeling the pressure as their rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United linger only one point behind in fourth and fifth place on the Premier League table. With only one victory in the last four matches and two games left to play, simply put the Gunners must win their two remaining games to secure third spot and can’t rely on the Spuds and Newcastle to drop points in their remaining games.

The Gunners go into this match with a couple of injuries, but nothing that affects their starting line-up from last game-week. Walcott still remains out injured with a hamstring injury, but could surprisingly make a return in Arsenal’s last game of the season against West Brom. Crocked midfielder Abou Diaby looks to be out for the season after suffering a calf injury late in last weeks match against Stoke after coming on as a substitute.

With Arteta out for the season, Welshman Aaron Ramsey will continue to play in the starting line-up alongside Rosicky and Song. Ramsey has had sub-par performances as of late, but hopefully he is able to pick up his game for the remaining two matches. No match is a guaranteed win in the Premier League and we need everyone to perform, particularly Ramsey who has been losing possession cheaply in dangerous situations as of late.

Other than this, the starting line-up is likely to remain the same as last weekend with the possibility that Oxlade-Chamberlain may be selected ahead of Benayoun. It is crunch time now for the Gunners and there is now no leeway for anything other than a win!
